Any recommended cryptographic libraries for Java. I need the ability to parse X.509 certificates to extract the information contained in them.
thanks
In Java, java.security.cert.CertificateFactory.
"The factory certificate for X.509 should return certificates that are an instance of java.security.cert.X509Certificate"
Most certificates have more than java.security.cert.X509Certificate. If you need to parse extensions, check out the Bouncy Castle Crypto API . (C # version is proposed).
java.security.cert.X509Certificate
Java , . , java.security.cert.X509Certificate.
You can also watch Keyczar , developed by Google. This library tries to make security as simple as possible and may be easier to use than standard java libraries ...
